It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!

One more in the continuing series for NYC area folks. I think we've missed a few months since the last one at Bernard's.

I'm hosting a piano gathering at my place in Staten Island on Saturday, Dec. 3. Start time to be determined, but probably early to mid afternoon. I've got to start thinking about refreshments too.

I'm doing a home recording on Nov. 21, so I'm having a tuning and some damper work done on Nov. 18. So the piano should still be in decent shape. For those who don't know, this is a M&H CC, rebuilt, 1928.

Please PM me if interested. I would like to keep track of how many are coming. I can also send location and directions (public transit or driving).

What do you think is better? 1, 2 or 3 PM to start? People using the ferry from Manhattan should know that, on the weekend, the departures are hourly starting at 7 PM. And the subways get wacky on the weekend too, although many lines converge downtown near the ferry.

i have a recital that day with my new teacher's other students at his house. no doubt i'm going to be humiliated by some 7 year old. it's one thing to be shown up by other adults, something entirely different to be upstaged by some grade schooler.

have fun. maybe i'll get to rejoin the nyc piano club in the spring. :sniff:

As for directions, stay tuned. I mean to compose a nice sheet of directions from all points via car, and public transit for the locals. As soon as I can get to it! I'll PM this to all those participating.

I'm sure I-78, I-80 both run through NJ and can get you here, skirting Manhattan. Halfway through NJ, I-287 is also an option.
